About our sink repair in Theale

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is typically repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a chipped basin edge.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Theale: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Often. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

How much does sink repair cost in Theale?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Repairing versus replacing in Theale

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
